Web Development Languages
-
OK, this is kind of a rant... I am currently writing a web app using MSDev 6 technology. That includes VBScript for the ASP pages, Java Script for client-side scripting, and C++ for components. Obviously, there is an inefficiency in using multiple languages for development. For example, my VBscript never compiles because I keep putting ; at the end of each line. Just out of curiousity, is there any web environment, such as .NET, where you can use a single language for all development? As I understand it, client-side scripting can only be done in Java Script, (or maybe if Netscape support is required) which would mean that Java or Java Script would have to be used on the server side. That is the only single language environment I can think of.

I would say sticking to c# would be the way to go. JavaScript and C# have similar syntax requirements, ie the ;

You could use JavaScript on server side with ASP. but I would recomend moving to C#. theJazzyBrain Wise is he who asks good questions, not he who gives good answers

I don't see why you couldn't build .NET assemblies using J# or something, but since its so similar to C# syntax anyway you may as well just use C# (allowing you to have pages compiled on the server rather than pre-building them) and JavaScript. Of course, you could use Managed C++/C++ to build the components (as you are at the moment), use C# to build the web pages (reasonably similar -- at least there are semicolons in there!), and JavaScript on the client-side. -- Paul "Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy.

I stick with C derivatives. I work with C++/MFC, JavaScript, PHP, Perl...these langs let me do everything all under one similar lang. Works great :) I'm drinking triples, seeing double and acting single :cool:
